Re: I wouldn't be able to pick a winner from Brook vs Khan... Thoughts?
Yes I think I'd fancy being at this one - though it's likely a stadium fight and I'm not into those. So actually no I don't fancy being at it....:-\
I just worry that Khan could lose a 'stay busy' fight and scupper the whole thing.
Would be exciting that's for sure
Re: I wouldn't be able to pick a winner from Brook vs Khan... Thoughts?
I don't actually think Brook has the power to worry Amir too much at Welter... take that away and Khan beats the fuck out of him in every single department.
Infact i think Khan totally schools him in every round and also think he gets a TKO.
Brook will be totally overwhelmed by Amirs speed, Amirs Jab/Reach will cause Brook so many problems too and be something he's never faced before....not even close.
72 Khan
69 Brook
For me Khan is a new fighter under Virgil Hunter now and looks seriously strong at Welter....few hiccups at first but they seem very close and to have nailed it stylwise, are people forgetting that Floyd completely ducked him already?

You saw a different fight than most of us.
In armins defense, I slightly agree.
Did canelo do anymore than porter.?
Porter was even more aggressive than canelo and cant have taken as many shots.
Canelo is the golden goose so it was going his way anyway but you would still expect porter to get the home decision.
On the plus side for brook he never seemed hurt and seem to daze porter a few times so I suppose that clinched it.
Khan vs brook has to happen but khan might not get floyd next sept if hes fasting..
Re: I wouldn't be able to pick a winner from Brook vs Khan... Thoughts?
I would heavily favour Khan in this one.
He is a far superior boxer and has the kind of speed Brook has never had to deal with. I can't see Brook outboxing Khan and he's not exactly a devastating puncher either. I think Khan could get through this one, even with his questionable chin.

I was drunk as hell so probably have a skewed vision of what happened but I'm not rewatching that.
Re: I wouldn't be able to pick a winner from Brook vs Khan... Thoughts?
Why is it hard to believe that Khan just isn't super-spectacular? He's good, and on a good night, he is tough. But he is more than beatable on his good night.
One thing I give Khan- is that he doesn't back down from fighters that most people do. Aside from a business-decision in Kell Brook, Khan got in there with Peterson (got robbed) and Garcia (a dangerous, young fighter)... he also got in with Maidana.
